Aug 17, 1949 – Oct 24, 2024

It is with great sadness that the family of Ted Wilson announces the passing of their beloved husband, father and Grandfather on Thursday, October 24, 2024 at the age of 75 years.

Ted was born to Harold and Vera Wilson of Dalton, Saskatchewan on August 17, 1949. Growing up in the area on the farm, breaking horses, ploughing fields, hunting and fishing. Ted had a lengthy career in the oil patch which took him from offshore drilling on the East coast to the Arctic, Dubai and France along with fighting fires in Kuwait, Ted had seen much of the world.

Ted retired in Fort Saskatchewan/Gibbons, Alberta on an acreage with his wife Sharon where they raised Australian shepherds, gave his two granddaughters tractor rides, and accidentally mixing up weed spray and round up (the grass never looked better after it came back). After 11 years on the acreage they moved to the town of Gibbons where they would meet up with the “old boys and girls” for coffee and conversation 2 days a week. The last year has been filled with projects and love around the house with more and more obstacles to drive around when cutting the grass, although he may have complained about them getting in the way, he never did say no to any of the projects Sharon dreamt up.

Ted will be remembered as a humble, strong, memorable and brave cowboy. He is survived by his wife, sons and their spouses, daughter and 2 granddaughters, his brother and sister along with their families.

In lieu of flowers, please send any donations to the Fort Saskatchewan Community Hospital Foundation in memory of Ted Wilson.

In respect of Ted’s wishes no service will be held and cremation has taken place.
